The lithograph illustrates Jean-Pierre Cassigneul's two favorite themes: women and spaces bursting with a thousand flowers. The artist invites the viewer into the secret garden of two elegant silhouettes strolling along a path lined with bright colors and rich decorations. The omnipresence of this luxuriant vegetation incites the viewer to escape into warm landscapes. The viewer, amazed and curious, imagines the murmurs emanating from this composition.

"Cassigneul is a magician who makes a mockery of time and space (...) in the end, and at the end of all ends, he pushes with the tip of his brush the gateway to our secret gardens. A magician, we say, but also an enchanter" [1].
